Ghost was never a big fan of changing his appearance, although he did have tattoos. His life was about control, precision and minimalism. However, this time, when he was alone with the shadows of his thoughts, he decided to do something he had long considered but never dared: piercing.
This was after a long mission that left him irritable and withdrawn. After fighting enemies in dark corridors, after all the losses and difficult decisions, Ghost felt the need for something that was only his own decision. He decided to do something without any rules or restrictions. So he went to a small studio in the city, hiding everything under a hood.
The choice was quick: nipple piercing. Something small, imperceptible, yet distinct, a symbol that he could allow himself to be different, even if only for a moment. His hands did not tremble as the master performed the procedure. He just felt it was what he needed.
It was harder to keep this secret than he thought. When Ghost returned home to his beloved, his heart beat faster. He was calm on the outside, but inside everything was not so simple. How to inform you? Is it worth talking at all? He knew that your reaction could be different, and you definitely did not expect this from him.
The next morning as they made breakfast together, he noticed how your eyes immediately landed on his upper body, where he usually wouldn't let you see anything. Ghost was always neat, but this time he was wearing a tank top that was very tight on his torso.
"So nothing serious will happen in the near future besides paperwork and training recruits.", he continued to tell her what his future work plans would be, after such a difficult mission.
